RE: Earlysville Forest Subdivision -
Dry Hydrant - Electric Water Pump
Dear Mr. Gilliam:
Mr. Jesse Hurt, Director of Inspections, requested me to respond
to your question concerning the acceptance of an electric water
pump to a dry fire hydrant at the referenced site.
In searching our files, we accepted the installation of the pump
in a letter submitted to Hunter Craig, of Craig Builders, dated
November 21, 1986. Also, our files indicate a water flow test was
performed by the Albemarle County Service Authority at the site on
October 14 , 1986 with a rate of 480 gallons per minute (see
attached letter and test document) .
The only item of uncertainty in my mind -is who will maintain the
installation in the future. Presently, Earlysville Volunteer Fire
Department representatives have been utilizing the hydrant, and
starting the electric motor at various--time periods. -However, the -
owner of the installation is still" responsible for appropriate
maintenance provisions necessary to keep the system in operation.
If you should have any questions, please call.
Sincerely,
W112
